From Vanessa Redgrave and Michael Moore to Sally Field and Russell Brand---all of these celebrities sparked controversy surrounding the politically-driven remarks each said at award shows.
During the 1978 Oscars, Redgrave used the podium to show support for the Palestine Liberation Organization and referred to her critics as "Zionist hoodlums." Moore reprimanded the Iraq War and called Bush a "ficticious president" in his 2003 Oscars acceptance speech. At last year's Emmys, Field preached that "if mothers ruled the (world), there would be no (expletive) wars in the first place." Earlier this month, MTV Video Music Awards host Brand called Bush in his opening monologue a "retarded cowboy."
